## Pi Day https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8517/8476624791_ac7a5a8357_b.jpg _{Imagine CC0 Creative Commons - [Source](https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8517/8476624791_ac7a5a8357_b.jpg)}

On March 14th we celebrated the pi day, which thanks to the American physicist Larry Shaw, has been celebrated all over the world for 30 years. The applications of this mathematical figure are numerous, and it would be almost impossible to list them all, but the main fields remain those of physics, electromagnetism and astronomy.

## Goodbye Stephen https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/Physicist_Stephen_Hawking_in_Zero_Gravity_NASA.jpg/300px-Physicist_Stephen_Hawking_in_Zero_Gravity_NASA.jpg _{Imagine CC0 Creative Commons - [Source](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/Physicist_Stephen_Hawking_in_Zero_Gravity_NASA.jpg/300px-Physicist_Stephen_Hawking_in_Zero_Gravity_NASA.jpg)}

Also on March 14 we have also paid tribute to Stephen Hawking, who died during the night between Tuesday and Wednesday in his English residence. Hawking was one of the most respected scientists at the turn of the century and his discoveries have allowed us to get far, but his greatest legacy will remain his approach to life.

Although the catastrophic scenarios presented in famous films such as Emmerich's are certainly exaggerated and improbable, it is undeniable that from now to the next few years the Global Warming will impose increasingly serious reflections on what measures to take. to stem the damage. Some of our ecosystems already show signs of extreme suffering, we can not wait any longer.

The increasing accumulation of plastic waste is a major problem for many ecosystems, especially aquatic ones. But what if we could turn these waste into tools to purify?

A careful analysis of the problems related to alcohol consumption, especially from the medical point of view. Knowing the damage done to our central nervous system should help us better consider whether it is worth abusing this substance,

Il 14 marzo abbiamo festeggiato il pi day, che grazie al fisico statunitense Larry Shaw viene ormai celebrato in tutto il mondo da 30 anni. Le applicazioni di questa figura matematica sono molteplici, e sarebbe quasi impossibile elencarle tutte, ma i campi principali restano quelli della fisica, dell'elettromagnetismo e dell'astronomia.

Sempre il 14 marzo abbiamo inoltre reso omaggio a Stephen Hawking, che si è spento durante la notte tra martedì e mercoledì nella sua residenza inglese. Hawking è stato uno degli scienziati più stimati a cavallo del secolo e le sue scoperte ci hanno permesso di arrivare lontano, ma la sua più grande eredità resterà il suo approccio alla vita.

Per quanto gli scenari catastrofici presentati in film famosi come quello di Emmerich siano sicuramente esagerati e improbabili, è innegabile che da qui ai prossimi anni il Global Warming ci imporrà riflessioni sempre più serie su quali siano i provvedimenti da prendere per arginare i danni. Alcuni nostri ecosistemi mostrano già segni di estrema sofferenza, non possiamo aspettaere ancora.

Un'attenta analisi delle problematiche legate al consumo di alcol, soprattutto dal punto di vista medico. Conoscere i danni causati al nostro sistema nervoso centrale dovrebbe aiutarci a considerare meglio se vale la pena abusare di questa sostanza.
